I have a problem with the pull requests... In github, if I'm not wrong, I can either receive all PRs by mail or none. Hence I unsubscribed. Thankfully, sometimes people do @viric on some packages.
I wish I could accept a merge by replying the request letter, instead of clicking the web button. Regards, Lluís.
